Stranger than fiction   Larger than life   Full of shades and echoes   It's the story of my life      Just like a picture book   Daddy's gone away   Leaving Mummy in her room   With another one on the way   At night I've heard her screaming   Through the coloured walls      Oh please don't leave me alone   Please don't leave me alone      (spoken) And even her friend the hippyman   With his tarot cards to lay   Drowning in his sea of words   Why he never has much to say   And I see him standing by   Singing to the birds      Just like the mystic says   Be careful of what you say   Talking to himself he needs no one   To help him on his way   Do you?   At nights I've heard them screaming through the candle flame      Oh please don't leave me alone   Please don't leave me alone
